COFFEEPOT.

Application led April 30, 1921. Serial No. 465,680.

To all whom t 'may concern.' w

Be it known that I, VICTOR BnNnDnK, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCoffeepots, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in coffee pots, and `has for itsmain object to provide a coffee pot having a shell of brass or othersuitable metal with an inner coffee container of aluminum mounted insaid shell. f

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of partshereinafter described and claimed..l

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanyingdrawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Fig. 1 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 1-1 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig'. 1.

The construction shown in the drawing comprises a shell 6 open at thelower end and provided with a spout 7 and a handle 8. A sleeve 9 ismounted in the upper portion of the shell, having a driving fit therein,and has its upper edge curled and embracing a wire 'ring 10 by means ofwhich curl and ring, it clamps the upper edge of the shell. A. spoutopening 11 is provided through the shell and sleeve in registry with thespout 7 An aluminum inner member or container 12 is used in place of theusual inner members of enameled ware or tinned ware, and is mounted inthe lower inturned portion 13 of the sleeve. The surface of thecontainer is separated from the interior of the shell forming an airspace 14 between said container and shell.

In practice, it has been found diicult to fasten aluminum to brassorsimilar metalv by means of solder especially where the joined metalswere subjected to considerable heat and also to steam, as in the casewith coffee pots. The heat and steam had the effect of loosening thesolder from the aluminum and thereby breaking'the fluidtight joint. Ihave provided a special joint or connection between the aluminumcontainer and the brass sleeve, which connec- :tion comprisesa curvedbrass ring 15the 'inner' end of which clampingly engages over the upperedge of the container 12 and the lower edge ofv which is seated uponthe.

members 1:2, l13 and 15. as shown in Fig. 1`

of the drawing. The ring isclamped upon the rupper edge and supports thecontainer in the sleeve, and the metal cement forms a fluid-tightclosure between the aluminum container and the. ring and sleeve.quantity of solder 17 is placed in the groove formed between the curvedring and the portion 13 of the sleeve. A suitable cover '18 is providedfor the top. The membersso vfar described, excepting .the I aluminumcontainer 12, are preferably constructed of brass tinned on the insideand may be nickel plated on the inside and outside if desired.

A coffee bag 2O of fabric or any suitable material is mounted upon asupporting rack 2l by means of a rigid rim 22 whichembraces the upperportion of the'rack. The rack comprises upright members 23 havinglaterally extending elbows 24: by means of which the rack is supportedupon the con`. tainer. The upright members 23 are properly spaced andretained in position by a suitable upper, a lower and an intermediatering, and a vertical wire 25 is provided while the intermediate ringcontains an inwardly bent portion 26 `by means of which y wire and bentportion the coffee bag is prevented from bearing against and cloggingthe strainer 27 mounted in the sleeve across the spout opening 11. Thewire members ofV the rack kare tinned and `may alsov be nickeled ifdesired. 1

The rac-lr is easily removable from the coffee pot and by means of itsbent portion 26 retains its proper position therein, and the coffee bagis easily removable from the rack.l The sleeve and container are fixedtogether but may be withdrawn upwardly from the shell if desired.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred formr ofconstruction for carrying my invention into effect, this isl ycapable ofvariation and modification without departing from the 'spirit of theinvention. I, therefore, do not wish toL be limited to the precisedetails of the construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of'Such Variations and modifications as come Within .the scope of ltheappended claims.

Having described my invention, what l: claim as nevv and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is: f

l. A coffee pot comprising an outer metallic member, and an inner membermounted therein, said inner member including an aluminum container and ametal sleeve embracing and supported on the upper edge of saidcontainer.

2. A coflee pot comprising an outer metallic member, an inner memberremovably mounted therein, said inne-r member including an aluminumcontainer and a metal supporting sleeve fixed to said container by meansof a curved clamping ring and a binding material. 1

3. A coffee `pot comprising a brass she-ll open at its lower end, ametal sleeve fastened in and curling ,over thel upper portion of saidshell, and an aluminum innercontainer cemented to ther lower inturnedpor-V tion .of said sleeve'.

' 4:. A coii'ee loot` comprising a shell,4 an aluminum liquidcontainermounted in said shell,v va rack Aremovably mounted Withanintermediate portionv on the'upper edge of said-container, and a coffeebag removably mounted on said rack and extending into said container. t

5. .A coffee pot comprising a shell, a container mounted in said shell,a rack removably mounted on said container, a coffee bag .removablymounted on said rack, a strainer iiXed to said shell over a spoutopening, and means on said rack to retain said bag from bearing againstsaid strainer.

6. A coiiee pot comprising a shell which is open at its lower end, analuminum container mounted in said shell with its Walls sepai'atedifromthe Walls of said shell, and al sleeve supporting said container andclosing the opening between the upper edge of' Vsaid container and theshell, said lsleeve being provided with a spout open-ing andy astrainer. l

7. A coffee pot comprising a shell open at its lower end, a4 metalsleeve mounted lwith a driving fit inthe upper portion ot' saidshe'll,and an aluminum container fixed to said sleeve by means of a'curvedmember and metal cement, there being an air space :betweensaid-container and sleeve.

In vtestimony whereof I have signed my vname to this specification inthe presence of 'a subscribinggvvitness.
